When we were a kid, the morning news would announce âItâs 17 minutes before the hour.â Now, CNN and Fox would say â7:17 Eastern timeâ; â6:17 Central timeâ; â5:17 Mountain timeâ; â4:17 Pacific time.â
They actually say it that way in the event they are rebroadcast in a different time slot, say live at 6AM and rebroadcast at 8AM locally or at a syndicated station.
I hate it when people say âfifteen afterâ or âfifteen tillâ etc. When someone asks you the time, tell them the time. Donât give them half of the information they need.
